Customer Reviews
There was way too much travel time that wasted our time. Spending 10 hours to get to the next city was ridiculous; that could’ve been an overnight train. We did a lot which was good but it would be nice to have more free time or to have certain activities be optional like the jade factory or the silk factory. A lot of the places we went to made you buy a lot which I didn’t enjoy because I wanted to learn more about the culture instead of spending an hour in a shop. I think if the trip was longer it would’ve been better because even though it’s marketed as 12 days, day 1 started at the end of the day and day 12 was non existent because everyone parted ways in the morning and there was no final goodbye.
A great introduction to travel in China! Already planning my next trip back!
This trip is an excellent introduction to China, and I would highly recommend it for anyone who's travelling to China for the first time. Advice from both the trip manager (who was brilliant btw) and local guides made everything nice and smooth. There is a lot packed into the 12 days, but completely worth it
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👐👍👍👍
